As a result of these efforts, a plan has been formulated to enlarge Elkhead <br />Reservoir for the purposes of enhancing instream flows and supporting future <br />development in the Yampa River basin, ' ' <br /> <br />A critical component of this plan is to legally protect releases of stored water to and <br />through the critical habitat reach of the Yampa River. This role can most effectively be <br />performea by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (Board). Reclamation strongly <br />encourages the Board to accept the donation of the 5,000 acre-foot storage space <br />easement, associated water rights and the 2,000 acre-foot temporary lease of the Elkhead <br />Reservoir enlargement from ,Reclamation and to accept responsibility for managing and <br />protecting these assets to enhance instream flows in the Yampa River. <br /> <br />Your support and cooperation through the long and complicated process leading to <br />construction of the Elkhead Reservoir enlargement is very much appreciated, <br /> <br />.'-" <br /> <br />.........- .,.. <br /> <br />, " <br />.:.' ;:e~; . <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />rr<~~J~\MY <br />~ Carol DeAnge1'is ' <br />, Area Manager <br /> <br />.,.;'.:.:" <br /> <br />". <br />(..-" <br />
